I don't know what's on Ayu's mind. I'm completely out of words to talk to her. But clearly, I am determined and will try to improve as much as possible all the untruths in this house, especially those made by mbak Ayu. All for the sake of children. Even though they can't be nice to me yet, I can feel their feelings being messy because of their mother.
This afternoon, after shopping for household needs which is now my monthly routine duties ushered in Ilham mas, suddenly at home there is already Mbak Sita. Ayu's mother invited him to dinner with us. From her body language, I believe Mbak Sita also wants this marriage, no matter what the cause, but she is beautiful, smart and rich. There must be many men who want to be his life partner.
Ma'am Sita brings a lot of souvenirs for children. But their attitude was just as cold when I came to this house. I hope the children are not traumatized by their mothers.
"How about mas, happy not to be able to meet Sita again? He deliberately returned to Indonesia just to meet, you know!" Mbak Ayu.
"Oh yeah?" mas Ilham nodded his head. "You guys please continue talking, I have to go upstairs first." Mas Ilham said to his room on the grounds that he wanted to check the work. Seeing the enthusiasm of the ordinary Ilham mas, of course, carved disappointment in the face of Ayu and Mbak Sita. I just smiled a little while shaking my head.
This dinner really happened. Ms. Ayu to order a special menu from a famous restaurant that became her subscription when entertaining important guests. Back, we were treated to the scenery where mbak Ayu tried so optimally to familiarize back mbak Sita with mas Ilham. I can't stop thinking, how could Ayu be so jealous of me, but he instead brought a new rival, namely mbak Sita. If the hope can get rid of me with the presence of Mbak Sita, did he not think that he would also have to do the same to mbak Sita who was predicted by him to win the heart of Ilham because he had a special position.
"What exactly does all this mean?" Question mas Ilham who seems to realize there is a hidden purpose of this dinner.
"Why, mas? I just want to welcome Sita home and at the same time as a surprise for the mas because Sita and I have a plan." said mbak Ayu. Slowly he explained to Ilham about the third marriage plan Ilham already approved mbak Sita as his third wife candidate.
"What's? I didn't hear wrong, did I? Sita, is that true?" Ilam asked for an explanation from both of them.
"Yes mas. That's all right. Actually, I contacted Sita some time ago, offering her to be the third wife because I knew first mas have feelings for Sita. Who would have thought, it turns out gaiujg together. Sita was the same as mas, only first he wanted to focus on his career and education. That's why now I intend to be the liaison between the two of you. After all, if you get elected as the chairman of the foundation later, you will need a smart companion and I'm sure that position is very appropriate for Sita!" said mbak Ayu, of course with sneaked innuendo against me who is not educated.
"I apologized to Sita for the carelessness of my wife because all these plans were never discussed before by Ayu. He designed everything himself." said Ilham.
"It's not so Sita, but, honestly, I have no intention of getting married again. Just two. Our home is still lacking. We are still learning" explained Ilham.
"It's okay, I understand. I was even very happy if invited to study together with the three of you," continued Sita. "It's been a long time that I really wanted to propose myself to be honey for Ayu. But I did not dare, afraid to hurt his feelings, so I decided to keep everything in silence and busy myself with all the affairs of the office. Who would have thought, it turned out that God answered my prayers, suddenly he contacted me and made an offer that had long been my dream. Could that be a hint from God? Wallahu a'lam."
"But sorry Sita, I'm really not ready to get married again. Maybe not forever." said Ilham firmly.
"Why mas? Is not Sita is the woman who has always liked. He is also the right person to be a companion. He will be the right partner to advance the foundation later." said mbak Ayu. "Sita's educational background and experiences will bring our parents and family to achieve all the dreams we have long dreamed of."
"I told you I don't want to get married again. Please don't impose your will as before, Yu. Later you regret it yourself. Don't add to the problem anymore. Can, right? Besides why can you carelessly decide everything yourself without talking to me first? Do you think getting married is easy?" mas Ilham interrogated mbak Ayu.
"Mas, my intentions are good. I just want to help you make your dreams come true. Why don't you understand it? Look at Sita, she is the right person to be the third wife, mas." mbak Ayu was at a loss for words, feeling that his efforts would not be fruitful.
"Mas Ilham .. please, do not reject me because I really hope to be able to fight on the side of the mas in order to realize what you expect. InshaAllah I am ready to be the wife I hope to be. Ayu has given a big picture of your family's mission vision and so far everything is in line with what I hope. After all we already know each other before so ..." has not finished m ak Sita continued the conversation, I decided to stop the conversation.
"I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous to cut off the conversation, but it would be nice to talk about this matter in private." I said, while signaling to them that there were several pairs of children's eyes who listened to their conversation and from their gestures look right if they are anxious, uncomfortable with the discussion of this problem. Unfortunately, the people who were supposed to protect them were insensitive to all this to the point of making me have to intervene, interfere in their affairs.
Ayu and Sita look upset when I stop their conversation. While Ilham cleared his throat, agreeing with what I said just now.
